Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue this afternoon with the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the Arizona Cardinals at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

The Jaguars scored a big victory to keep pace in the AFC playoff race last Sunday, dominating the Chargers in a 35-6 blowout victory at home. Running back Bhayshul Tuten played a huge role in what was the most productive game of his rookie season so far.

Below, we’ll go over Tuten’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 12.

Fantasy Football analysis: Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten

Tuten had a solid outing out of the backfield in last Sunday’s win over the Chargers, registering 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown that put the Jags on top at the very end of the first quarter. The fourth-round rookie was able to put those numbers up while splitting the workload with Travis Etienne, who broke off 19 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns in the victory.

It marked a season-high in touches for Tuten and it was also the most action that that he’s seen on the field this year. He’s finally starting to carve out a role in the offense and living up to some of his preseason expectations as a rookie sleeper. He could be a good asset to have down the home stretch, especially for Etienne managers who have yet to secure him as a handcuff.

Start or sit in Week 12?

Start. The Jags have an opportunity to establish some late-season momentum with a win this afternoon and the key may be to just let their running backs cook like they did last week. Tuten is earning the trust of the coaching staff and I think that he’ll get enough touches to make him a solid Flex candidate this week.
